Due for launch mid-April, this Garnacha from a small family estate has seen a year of ageing, in a mix of concrete and 500L French oak barrels. There's a discernible creamy, light oak influence, but it's fresh and floral at the same time, down to the slate soils, old vines (bush vines, 50 years old, hand picked), and 650m altitude. Dark berry character and the structure to match with robust meat dishes.
